It's worth noting that the average sentence for murder in the US is 15 years. And it is not actually a "designated terrorist organization". The government is claiming they are a "domestic terrorist organization" which isnt a thing under US law, additionally, there is no organization to speak of.

The important thing to note here, is because it's not a real organization, but treated like one, they can simply tie anyone against the admin to a "designated terrorist organization" and put them away for decades with little evidence. As they did here.

As opposed to real terrorist organizations where they can just phone up terrorist HR to confirm if someone is a member?

It is.[1] Perhaps you mean it's not a statutory Foreign Terrorist Organization, like Al-Qaida or Hamas. That is a harsher designation, but that's not possible for Antifa because it's not foreign.

Perhaps in the state system: in the federal system this is absolutely not the case (it's 5+ years longer), and there is no parole.
